Hello, I've never travelled alone before and I'm just a bit anxious about my plan! Can any experienced pilgrims tell me if this is a good plan? I can't walk it all at once due to time and money constraints so I'm hoping to just do the first stretch this year and then hopefully complete it in the future. I haven't booked flights yet but this is my rough plan for getting to and from the Camino:
Flight- Gatwick to Biarritz, arriving at 9:30am.
Train Biarritz--> SJPP changing at Bayonne, arrive around 15:00.
Stay overnight somewhere in SJPP (should I prebook?) and then leave in the morning.
After 5 days walking hopefully get to Estella?
Stay overnight in Estella then bus to Pamplona. Change onto a bus from Pamplona--> Bilbao
Flight from Bilbao to Stansted 13:40 or 21:55 (not sure if its feasible to get to Bilbao for the earlier one-I'm finding the Spanish bus websites very hard to understand!)
Also from what I've read its easier/cheaper to get from Estella--> Bilbao than Estella--> Biarritz, is that true?
I'm a bit nervous!
